We're ready to welcome visitors to the Future Chemistry Hub at University of Southampton! Come over to see how we use alloying and structural colour to turn pennies into gold(ish), and find out why our purple penny is like a butterfly wing! #ChemSky @unisouthampton.bsky.social #iTeachChem #BSF26

Our volunteers ready at our stand at the Future Chemistry Hub

Five pennies of different colour. The centre penny is a standard colour. The orange, silver and purple are structurally coloured and the gold is a brass alloy.

🥼 Our second year #undergrads are ready for their #MurderMystery practical as a #skills refresher to encourage #collaboration! 🧪 🕵 Will they be able to use their chemical knowledge to crack the case? 🔍 @unisouthampton.bsky.social #ChemEd #HigherEd #GamifiedLearning #Labs #Chemistry #iTeachChem

A collection of character name tags for use in a murder mystery game. The pictures for each character have been taken from the movie "Clue".

Really excited to be at #ViCEPHEC at University of Liverpool. Looking forward to all of the great #talks, and also a little obsessed with the adorable little beaker mug in the tote bag!! #ChemEd #ChemicalEducation #Conference #ViCEPHEC2025 #iTeachChem #EduSky #ChemSky

Anyone else found that their newest lab tech really isn't pulling their weight? #ElfOnTheShelf #Chemistry #Teaching #Laboratory @unisouthampton.bsky.social #iTeachChem #AcademicSky

Starting the day with a smile from possible the best #Python #code segment a student has ever asked me to help debug 😂 #AcademicSky #EduSky #iTeachChem

A code segment written in Python. The code looks at an x-y dataset, performs a linear regression and then plots the data along with a linear trendline. The code is supposed to use the numpy module in order to carry out the linear fit, but the student has accidentally written numpty instead!

Great start to Session 1 of #5CCP with @roysocchem.bsky.social! Lots of interesting posters from across the #Commonwealth! Will be presenting #ChemEd research encouraging student participation in #feedback, bringing the #StudentVoice to course design... spoilers below😉 #ChemSky #EduSky #iTeachChem

A poster presentation entitled "what does it take to encourage students to use their voice?" The poster details findings from a study into how to encourage students to complete feedback surveys to allow us to integrate the student voice into course design. Discussions with students suggest that student interaction could be increased with easier access to the surveys, integration of surveys within the course structure, further opportunities for discussion, regular sharing of outcomes, and, of course, rewards.

On the train loaded with caffeine, coding and lego... must be time for #ViCEPHEC24! Looking forward to my first #ChemEd conference! @unisouthampton.bsky.social #iTeachChem #EduSky
